But Bluebeards stunt pilot and true adrenaline junkie Ben Lovering is stepping things up a notch with his latest venture as he takes to the tarmac in a nail-biting new race dubbed ‘Plane vs Car’.

The race sees Ben teaming up with with friend and colleague Rich Goodwin in a white-knuckle bid to pit car against plane – and see which has got what it takes to come out on the very top.

With Ben climbing into the driving seat of a slick Porsche GT3 and Rich taking the flying controls of his Pitts Special, it’s set to be an unmissable affair for speed junkies, with the guys now in talks to take the race to airs hows up and down the country.

G-Klaw may be taking the side-lines for this particular project, but The Bluebeards Revenge will still be up there in the thick of the action, with the Porsche GT3 branded up to the maximum as Ben takes on his rival.

There are no confirmed dates as yet, but once the green light is given we’ll be letting you know where you can get in on a slice of the action. watch this space.

http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/choosing-the-right-hair-styling-product/#commentsThu, 23 Jul 2015 09:09:52 +0000http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/?p=12399Back in the 90s, crispy spikes and slicked down curtains were what it was all about, and an industrial-sized tube of slimy hair gel was all that was required to achieve both. Thankfully, things have moved on since then, but along with the plethora of new men’s hairstyles on the block comes a confusing array of lotions and potions, making it a minefield for many when deciding which one to go for.

If you’re still sheepishly clutching the afore-mentioned tube of gel, and have been continuing to slather it on enthusiastically ever since school, then not only are you doing yourself a great disservice in the style stakes, but you could be doing your barnet more harm than good. The type of product you plump for depends heavily on hair type and the style you hope to achieve, and going for the wrong option could even result in damage to your hair.

Standing in the aisles of your local pharmacy and attempting to make a selection can prove quite the challenge, so to give you a push in the right direction, here’s the low-down on what each type of product has to offer, and which one you should be using now.

The Bluebeards Revenge Pomade

Pomade

A greasy or waxy substance, pomade is the weapon of choice for slick, wet-look styles. While traditional pomades were originally oil-based and a nightmare to wash out of the hair, today’s offerings will often be water-based, providing all of the benefits with none of the consequences. Pomade works well on thinner hair of any length, and is great for taming waves or curls – but if your hair is particularly oily, it might not be the best choice for you. The biggest plus of using pomade over gel? More flexible hold, and no risk of flaking.

Gel

Gel is thick in consistency but easy to work with, making it a functional and versatile choice. Good for taming fly-aways, the hold it provides ranges from lighter to maximum, depending on the amount applied. Gel works well on thicker hair and short to medium lengths, and can be used on damp or dry hair. To use, distribute evenly over hands and run through hair to style. The downside? Gel is prone to unattractive flaking. Avoid touching once dried, as breaking the hold can result in a real mess.

The Bluebeards Revenge Matt Clay

Matt products

Clays, putties and pastes may all fall into this category, offering a dry or matt finish. Matt products provide pliable hold, adding plenty of texture without the shine. Clays are the best for creating effortless, tousled styles, as the hold they offer is invisible, but for something a little stronger you can opt for a paste or putty to much the same effect.

Wax

Wax is thicker than pomade, and oil-free, making it ideal for even those with greasier locks. Its density means that it works well on thicker, medium length hair, but if it isn’t applied correctly then clumping may occur. To avoid any mishaps, warm between palms and distribute evenly before applying to the hair.

Hopefully you are now feeling a bit more clued up when it comes to choosing the right hair-styling product. When weighing up the pros and cons, don’t forget to take into consideration the kind of look you are trying to create, as this is an important factor that will influence your choice. Don’t be afraid to experiment either – with the right, versatile cut, you can change it up on a regular basis.

The event, which took place at South Wales’s Celtic Manor hotel on Sunday, 28th June, saw the Bluebeards fight off stiff competition to claim the coveted Barber Awards title, with a number of other awards handed out to brands and industry professionals including Barbershop of the Year, Training Academy of the Year and Trimmer of the Year.

The awards ceremony proved to be a successful addition to Barber Connect 2015, and it is expected to become an annual occurrence in conjunction with the event.

With over 70 exhibitors, Barber Connect itself is now in its third year, with barbers flying in from around the world to attend. It is currently the only UK exhibition dedicated solely to barbering and men’s hairdressing, offering a unique opportunity for industry professionals to share new ideas and showcase their work.

With live cuts and shaves taking place on the day, the event also offered guests the chance to purchase tools and products at exclusive show prices, and as ever, The Bluebeards Revenge were in attendance on the day to display our wares.

It was a successful day for everyone involved, and we’re looking forward to doing it all again next year – and hopefully retaining our title.

The rugged look is broadly perceived to be symbolic of masculinity, but while male grooming has only truly risen to prominence over the past decade or so, it is now a key part of any bearded gent’s journey to facial-haired perfection.

The Bluebeards Revenge Classic and Cuban Beard Oil

For those who are late to the party, any self-respecting beardie will be able to tell you that simply sprouting a few clumps of unruly fuzz is no longer the way to go about things. A good beard needs some careful pruning, shaping and nourishing in order to flourish, and luckily, there are several things that you can do to ensure that it turns out to be nothing less than a manly masterpiece.

If you’re starting completely from scratch, then patience is the ultimate key to success. Hold your horses, put down the scissors, and allow a good week of growth before you go tampering with the shape or length. Throughout this ‘limbo’ period, it’s vital that you keep the skin beneath in tip top condition. Look after it by using a decent facial scrub to slough away dead skin cells and remove any dirt and grime from the area. Facial hair can be a hotbed for bacteria to proliferate, harbouring oil and sweat which can result in all manner of unsightly acne. Bearded or not, it’s important to keep up a regular skincare routine in order to keep it at bay.

Apply a conditioning oil to the area to moisturise, nourish and protect the beard as it grows, taking care to massage into the skin as you go to avoid any dry areas developing. Remember, in order to grow a healthy piece of facial fuzz, you have to start at the source.

Once your beard reaches the desired length, maintenance begins to come into play. Invest in a beard comb and give it a regular once-over to eliminate any knots or tangles, using a pair of beard and moustache scissors to keep length in check. For sharper edges, a cut-throat razor is an essential tool, but to keep things really slick, a monthly visit to the barber for a tidy-up is highly recommended.

You can continue to use your beard oil on a weekly basis, as it will help to smooth and shape the beard as well as providing it with that all-important nourishment.

http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/choosing-the-right-beard-type-for-your-face-shape/#commentsTue, 30 Jun 2015 10:27:11 +0000http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/?p=12046Growing a beard might seem like a throw-away decision, but before you lock away the razor and shaving cream and jump in, there are a few things that you’d do well to know first.

The shape of your face could have a stronger influence than you think on whether or not you can pull off your new piece of facial fuzz. Despite what you might like to believe, one size does not fit all, so it’s worth doing your homework to avoid making a facial hair faux-pas.

Too much like hard work? Worry not. We’ve rounded up all you need to know on the matter to make your life easier, because we’re good to you like that. As for figuring out your own face shape, however, you’re on your own.

The Bluebeards Revenge Classic and Cuban Beard Oil

Square

A square jawline is considered the most masculine type to have, and it’s often worth emphasising rather than hiding. You can go for any type of beard, including a full one, but keep the edges squared-off so as not to lose your natural shape. A goatee will also flatter. If you dislike your face shape, then keep hair fuller on the chin, and shorter at the sides in order to slim the face.

Rectangular/Oblong

Avoid anything too angular, as this is a face shape with strong lines in itself. Longer faces are best suited to short-trimmed beards, as this enables them to avoid elongating the face even further.

Round

A neatly trimmed beard and hard lines along the cheekbones are your best bets.This style will slim the face, while squaring off slightly at the neckline gives the illusion of a more oval face shape

Oval

An oval face is by far the most versatile, with almost any beard style becoming fair game. It is one of the most symmetrical face types, which means there is no need to try and disguise any of your features. Experiment and see what you prefer – neatly-trimmed goatee, heavy scruff, or a stubbly 5 o’clock shadow will all flatter.

Small

The smaller-faced gent would do well to avoid a beard. We hate to be a kill-joy, but if it’s a real concern of yours then you won’t want to diminish it any further. In particular, avoid full, heavy beards. You don’t have to miss out on all the fun of facial hair, though – why not opt for a small moustache instead?

Large

Faces that are on the larger side can afford to go big with beards. Choose a full beard, and keep it trimmed so as to avoid any unnecessary elongation – your face is big enough already and you won’t benefit from the extra length.

Prominent chin

A full, traditional beard works well to balance a prominent chin – keep it thicker at the sides to create the illusion of added width.

No chin

To give the appearance of a stronger jawline and more pronounced chin, opt for a full beard that is shaped at the sides. Added will also help to create the illusion of the desired shape.

The on-the-go shaving product beat off stiff competition from scores of other big-name brands to take the coveted title, emerging victorious in the latest edition of the magazine as the 2015 winners were announced.

The Bluebeards Revenge Shaving Solution impressed judges with its silky, gel-like formula, which can be applied without a brush and makes for a smooth and easy shave.

Nick Gibbens, PR & Marketing Manager for The Bluebeards Revenge, said that the brand was thrilled with the recognition

“The award has come at a time when The Bluebeards Revenge is going from strength to strength, and we’re thrilled to be receiving such high-level recognition from the overseas media and customers alike. Men’s Health magazine is a highly respected title around the world, and we are very proud that the Shaving Solution has exceeded their expectations.”

The award is the latest and greatest in a string of impressive accolades afforded to the brand, following on from its 2013 and 2014 victories in the annual FHM Grooming Awards where it picked up Product of the Year and Grooming Brand of the Year respectively.

Explaining their reasons for selecting the brand as this year’s overall winner, FHM said: “This fresh British company have been making waves, and we, for one, like the cut of their jib. It’s not just the quality of their products that have us impressed; it’s the sheer breadth of products available.”

http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/why-growing-a-beard-may-be-good-for-your-health/#commentsFri, 26 Jun 2015 10:32:48 +0000http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/?p=12035Turns out bearded may well be best after all…

Beards are fast becoming the trend that never ends, but lately they have fallen victim to a negative piece of press that suggests they might be somewhat unhygienic. Articles on the issue, however, have neglected to take into consideration the personal habits of beard-sporting individuals, and likewise, the positive points that wearing one has to offer.

Not convinced? Here’s our pick of the best reasons to grow a beard – besides looking pretty damn manly, of course.

Relief from shaving rash

Contrary to popular belief, friction between blade and skin is not the sole cause of razor rash in sensitive-skinned individuals, although it is often the culprit. ‘Folliculitis barbae’, as it’s known, can also be caused by a bacterium called staphylococcus, and can begin and be consistently aggravated by repeatedly reaching for the same shaving equipment – contaminated with the bacteria – on a daily basis. Failure to change your blade or clean your brush can result in reinfection and a whole heap of irritation, leaving skin sore, itchy, and – worse still – unsightly.

The best way to rid yourself of this nasty condition? Give shaving a break. Gentle exfoliators and cleansers containing salicylic acid will help, but putting down the razor for a while and allowing your skin to recover is the best thing that you can do for yourself. Not only will your skin begin to heal more quickly, but you’ll also get to sprout a slick beard which will cover the evidence.

The Bluebeards Revenge Classic and Cuban Beard Oil

Protect from allergies

Sensitive to pollen and dust? A beard could become your new best friend. Some believe that facial hair can filter out those pesky particles, while others insist that fuzz only serves to retain them and keep them a little too close for comfort. Whichever is true, it seems to be beneficial, as the presence of small amounts of pollen and dust appear to actually ‘desensitise’ the immune system to them. The result of this is that the body gets used to small amounts of pollen and dust trapped in the facial hair and becomes less likely to react to them. Result!

Protect from skin cancer

Sporting a thick beard may leave you hot and bothered come summertime, but don’t go shaving it all off just yet. A recent study conducted at Australia’s University of Southern Queensland looked at how effective facial hair is in defending the skin from the sun’s UV rays, and revealed that a beard can help to prevent skin cancer by providing an estimated 90-95% protection, depending on the beard’s length, density and angle of facial hair. This does not, however, mean that it’s time to bin off the sunscreen just yet, as all beards are different – and even the thickest can’t offer you 100% protection.

Disguise acne scars and bad skin

Cultivating a beard could do you plenty of favours if you’ve suffered from acne in the past. Attempting in vain to cover up marks and scars can be the bane of many men’s existence, particularly without the luxury of makeup that is afforded to their female counterparts. A heavy beard will mask any unsightly areas of skin on the chin, and nobody will be any the wiser.

One step ahead of the pack? Whether you’ve long been cultivating a beard or are simply considering taking the plunge, The Bluebeards Revenge’s brand new range of Beard Oils will ensure that your facial fuzz remains in tip top condition at all times. Designed to moisturise, condition and smooth the manliest of face-manes, the Classic Blend and Cuban Blend are now available to buy priced at £9.99 each.

http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/blog/the-idiots-guide-to-beard-grooming-beard-care-maintenance/#commentsThu, 25 Jun 2015 14:39:49 +0000http://www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/?p=12048For the past two years in men’s grooming and fashion the beard has reigned supreme. From celebrities to magazine covers, the beard is seen pretty much everywhere. The current trend is especially towards beard and mustache styles seen from the turn of the century, particularly from the Victorian era. For those looking to grow a beard and keep it in great shape at all times we have put together some top tips for the care and maintenance of beards.

The Bluebeards Revenge Classic and Cuban Beard Oil

Exfoliate your face

When first growing out your beard it can become very scratchy and itchy for the first few days. To lessen these effects while your skin gets used to being covered by the hair try these methods of care. First exfoliate your face and hair with a mild face scrub. The exfoliating action softens the outer layer of hair made from keratin allowing moisturisers and water to enter and soften the hair. Apply The Bluebeards Revenge Post-Shave balm daily as this will also help to soften the skin and hair.

Use a quality beard wash and conditioner

Once your beard has grown out enough to begin maintaining and styling the first course of action is to use a decent beard wash and conditioner. Beard hair is more coarse and thick than head hair and requires different ingredients to take care of it properly which is why normal shampoo and conditioners will not work nearly as well as a specially formulated product. A good quality comb or brush is essential for keeping those lower locks looking as good or better than the top!

The Bluebeards Revenge Moustache Wax

Use a quality beard oil

Once all nice and combed, apply a styling or conditioning product as this will help keep things in top form. One of the most popular treatments is a beard oil. The oils from The Bluebeards Revenge will keep your beard well conditioned and provide a nice slight sheen, as well as keep you smelling nice and manly. Not to be forgotten, the mustache is an important part of the beard and applying a good mustache wax will keep your hirsute pursuits in fine form! The best application is to take a small amount from the jar with your fingernail, rub between the fingers to warm, apply to the mustache and beard, then comb and style according to your tastes!

Use a pair of specially designed moustache and beard scissors

Another item to consider for easier beard and mustache maintenance is a good set of clippers or scissors. Keeping those hairs in line and shaped well will make the difference of looking like a very dapper gentleman or Tom Hanks from the movie Castaway. Wash and comb as normal then trim a little at a time from the edges until you achieve the desired shape and profile. If you do not feel comfortable doing this yourself, your barber will willingly oblige a trim and style the next time you are in for a haircut.

We wish you the very best with your hirsute pursuits of beard and mustache growing. As with all things grooming a little care and maintenance added to your routine will keep you looking your best and impressing everyone around you.

Despite reports that ‘peak beard’ has been reached, it is becoming increasingly clear that the mighty beard is here to stay.

And to help keep them in check, premium men’s grooming brand The Bluebeards Revenge has released a new range of quality beard oils to transform them from untamed beasts to manly masterpieces.

The Bluebeards Revenge Classic and Cuban Beard Oil

The collection consists of two oils (both 50ml) dubbed ‘Classic Blend’ and ‘Cuban Blend’, with each offering a unique blend of fresh and masculine-smelling oils and fragrances designed to smooth, moisturise and protect facial hair while eliminating frizz and enhancing beard shape.

For the precious few yet to be seduced by the beard’s appeal, the brand has also launched a new moustache wax, which is available in handy 20ml tubs for touch-ups on the go.

Known as ‘The World’s Manliest Grooming Brand’, The Bluebeards Revenge is best known for its iconic wet shaving products, starting life as a shaving line aimed at men with tough stubble. It has since expanded to encompass all aspects of grooming, providing ‘The Ultimate Grooming Experience for Real Men’.

The new beard and moustache styling range join a broad collection of products already available from the British brand, including the new hair-styling range recently added to its already impressive repertoire.

The beard oils and moustache wax are now available from The Bluebeards Revenge (www.bluebeards-revenge.co.uk/shop), priced at £9.99 and £6.99 respectively.

Picky parents can be hard to please, but The Bluebeards Revenge has rounded up the manliest of gifts for you, all of which are sure to put a smile on any father’s face.

GIFT SETS

For Dads in need of a complete grooming overhaul, the Perfect Man Kit is an ideal way to discretely drive home the hint – and the best thing is, he’ll never clock you. Sure to put a smile on every father’s face and get you straight back into the good books..

If he looks just fine but hasn’t updated his fragrance in years, then the Eau de Toilette Gift Set will be just the job. A fresh and masculine scent presented in a vibrant blue bottle, the EDT comes complete with a matching shower gel. This is one kit that will have him smelling like a real man in no time.

Re-introduce him to the world of traditional wet shaving with The Bluebeards Revenge Starter Kit. Containing a pot of our iconic luxury Shaving Cream, a Doubloon Shaving Brush and anti-perspirant deodorant, we’ve also thrown in a 20ml sample size of our Post-Shave Balm

A luxury selection of products including a full-size Pre-Shave Oil, Shaving Cream and Post-Shave Balm along with a Doubloon shaving brush to help him on his way to that perfect shave. The kit also contains an anti-perspirant deodorant to finish his morning routine the right way..

One for the man who likes a little bit of luxury in his life, the Privateer Collection doubleedge razor gift set comprises the infamous Scimitar safety razor, along with a pot of luxury Shaving Cream and Post-Shave Balm and a Doubloon shaving brush.

HAIR & BODY

Give him the tools to create high-shine, wet-look styles reminiscent of the 6os with our brand new water-based Pomade. Chances are, he wore them the first time round, so this blast from the past will no doubt be a welcome one.

Can’t afford the gift set option? Worry not, that doesn’t mean you’ll have to put up with his poor choice of aftershave for the foreseeable future. The Eau de Toilette comes in a vibrant blue bottle, laser-etched with the iconic Bluebeards skull.

SHAVING ESSENTIALS

If you’ve got a father with persistent facial hair, the chances are that he’s fed up with his daily shave. Put some pleasure back into his morning with a single pot of The Bluebeards Revenge’s luxury shaving cream – not only does it whip up into a fine lather to facilitate an easier shave, but it also helps to combat common shaving woes such as razor rash and burn.

Fathers who are forever in a hurry in the mornings will appreciate The Bluebeards Revenge’s brushless Shaving Solution. No need for a brush or bowl, this can be applied straight to the face with fingers for a quick and easy shave.

Preparation is key when it comes to the perfect shave, and an angry, red rash will no doubt make for an angry, red dad. The Bluebeards Revenge Pre-Shave Oil will eradicate shaving woes by enhancing razor glide and softening the hairs beforehand for an easier, smoother experience.

Just as preparation is important, following up with the right products is vital. The BVluebeards Revenge’s Post Shave Balm will calm and soothe any irritation, adding essential moisture back into the skin and providing all the nourishment it needs.

For that extra moisture hit, the Cooling Moisturiser can be used all over the face, and is just the job for sensitive-skinned dads. At his age, he should be moisturising morning and night to minimise the appearance of lines and wrinkles – and gifting him this should ensure that he gets the hint.

If he likes a life of luxury, then go that one step further and pick him up The Bluebeards Revenge’s Privateer Collection Mach 3. Stylish and contemporary, it’s built from durable high-grade resin, and is lightweight yet comfortably substantial to use.

Last but not least, don’t forget the blades. They may be an altogether less exciting purchase than the main event, but what’s a brand spanking new razor without the necessaries to use it? Our double-edge razor blades slot nicely into the Scimitar, and can also be snapped in half to fit the Cut-Throat Shavette.

SHAVING ACCESSORIES

Add an air of luxury to his morning shave with The Bluebeards Revenge’s chrome shaving bowl. Mixing up a lacklustre lather on the back of your hand will no longer suffice, as shaving reverts back to the original and best methods of days gone by. All that’s required is this bowl, a brush and some water to whip The Bluebeards Revenge’s luxury Shaving Cream into the most impressive lather your dad has ever seen. Sold?

Father’s Day coincides nicely with the holiday season, and what better way to store his manly grooming essentials than in The Bluebeards Revenge’s Travel Washbag? Big enough to house all the necessaries and yet small enough to fit nicely into his suitcase – job done.

For dads who are already accustomed to the traditional wet shave, the Shaving Towel will take things that one step further. Soaked in hot water and wrapped around the target area pre-shave, this makes for a relaxing addition to the routine as a once-a-week treat.

If you’ve already kitted him out with all the Bluebeards gear he could posibly need for previous birthday, Christmas and Father’s Day presents, then chances are, he’ll need somewhere to store them. The Privateer Collection Chrome Brush and Razor Stand will keep his shaving tools in check, and is great for showing them off on the bathroom shelf.
